I am creating animations in Flash 5.5 for use in Captivate 5.5. I have created a drag-and-drop animation for a horizontal line and a vertical line, to act as moveable "straight edges" for use on complicated charts. How do I lock the horizontal line to just move along the Y axis, and the Vertical line to just move along the X axis? (I'm a relative newbir working in Flash.)

View 18 RepliesI nedd to build a "See if you have the right weight" wheel in Flash. It have to be a small wheel over a bigger one. The top one have to be drag and drop like it was pined to the other one, so it rotates around the center axis (when click and drag with the mouse over), allowing us to match the scales in the wheels as we like.
I've found a lot of tuturials about drag and drop objects in Flash, but freely, not around a fixed center axis.
I got my Drag n drop working. Now I've added a timer. I want the students to have 45 seconds to finsih the game. I can code a timer OK, I can even get it to jump to a "time's up" frame, with a restart button that takes you back to where intro page for the drag n drop.If you click one of the two visible navigation btns on the d'n'd page BEFORE the timer has stopped, you get an error.I have no idea how to stop the timer as a result of fishing the d'n'd game within the time limit (i.e. correctly placing 12 pegs). As it is, you finish the game, one text field says "Congrats!" (which is good) but you still get tmed out (which is bad).inal step in my little prototype edu app.Here's the salient part of the code (I think) and I have removed all the code that comes after the important part:
var counter:Number = 0;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;

I am looking to do a drag and drop where the user has to drag over 1 of 3 clothes onto a sales person to let us know which one is the correct dress code for our store. What would be the best way to do this?
View 1 RepliesWould like to develop simple (in browser) puzzle games where shapes (such as a puzzle piece shape) can be simultaneously dragged and rotated, then dropped on the screen or canvas. The game mode would be to click and drag the shape or object, while simultaneously rotating the piece using arrow keys Is this possible in Flash? This simple general activity of simultaneous drag and rotate, then drop, is my intended overallweb site game basis. I'm new to Flash but have developed Windows executables for many years. I'm trying to decide whether to purchase and learn Flash as platform for interactive educational puzzle games running in browser windows.

The problem is that it does'nt work, i've tried out many different tutorials and codes without success. Sometimes i get the 1120 error and when not, nothing happens.

I've built a drag and drop project with 9 elements in Flash CS5 using AS 3.0. Using code from an AS3.0 4 element drg&drp tutorial (which worked) I copy/pasted the code into the new project, renamed graphics in AS where necessary and added the additional code required to accomodate the additional graphics.When playing the test I get no errors however the first logo (element) and it's invisable target just flash on and off 11 times, then I see a frame of the whole project (for 1 frame) and then the cycle repeats.
I've double checked all naming conventions and everything is correct between movie clips and code. I've even simplified the code to just 1 element to see if I could track down where the problem starts and I get the same thing. The strange thing (to me anyway) is if I change the name of element to be dragged/dropped (in the code) to a different element on the stage I still get same original graphic flashing. So I don't think it's the code at all I think there is some weirdness in the graphic setup.
I'm trying to adapt the memory game in chapter 3 of the book "ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University" for my own uses. I want to get all of the cards to flip and drag. I am able to flip the first card and drag it, but when I flip the second card over, I can't drag it. I have two files, MatchingGameMe.fla and MatchingGameMe.as. All of the actionscript is in MatchingGameMe.as. Here is the code. Does anyone see how I can modify it so that all the cards drag?[code]

View 1 RepliesI want to be able to create the following if possible:
Create five words that make up a sentence and they are mixed up in order. So basically I would turn each word into a Movie clip perhaps.
I would then like to assign a target hotspot for each word so that a user can drag the words into the correct order.
Once they are in the correct order they click a button to go to a correct response or incorrect response. Is this possible?

if this is posted elsewhere I searched but could not find topic. I would like to know if there is a way to enlarge the size of the target drop point. Seems the users have to be spot on or the shape snaps back.
Any way to give users a little more wiggle room with target drops?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a quiz in Adobe Flash CS3 using Drag and Drop Feature. I have created similar Drag items and I want to drag the item and place it into any target. For Ex. I want Drag1, Drag2, Drag3, Drag4, Drag5 should go to any target from Target1, Target2, Target3, Target4, Target5. The objects on Drag1 through Drag5 is similar like I am working on number system. So I want the Drag boxes to go to any place values into the target boxes. But the drag and target instance names should be unique and should be mentioned in the component inspector also.

View 3 RepliesI'm cruising through the Classroom in a Book series for ActionScript 3.0 and I'm having problems with the uiscrollbar attaching to a text field. I've used them before, but this time when I drag it over to the text field it keeps jumpimg to the outside of the box instead of attaching and I can't seem to get in inside the box unless I manually change the X and Y settings and force it where I want it to be. Even then it doesn't work correctly.

I ve got a drag and drop code working, but what I really want to do is have a check answers button that tells the user, you have none correct, or two correct or all wrong... I have one target area, and 3 correct answers (out of 7) so I would like to let the user put as many ansers on the target as they want and then check if they have any correct, also a reset code would be nice to put everything back where it started... I tried to break my code up but the events then went mad, Here is what i have so far, it works instantly and lets crrect answers stay and incorrect bounce back..
